Dark Rides at Blackpool Pleasure Beach | On-Ride POVs

[@Phoenix77-ml5bm]

FUN FACT: The tune that plays on repeat on Alice In Wonderland is the tune to 'I've Got A Golden Ticket' from Willy Wonka And The Chocolate Factory.

[@danielboyce8273]

FUN FACT 2 THE SEQUEL: ya know the ride came first it was made in 1962 but willy wonka was made in 1971

NAH MY FAVORITE DARK RIDE HERE IS WALLACE AND GROMMIT I LOVE IT SO SO MUCH! 😍😍😍😍

I can’t believe how many dark rides you have in one place. My favorite was the River Caves.

[@yourexperienceguide]

It's great that BPB have so many dark rides. Thank you for watching and commenting :)

I think it's funny that Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory music plays on the Alice in Wonderland dark ride.

Blackpool Pleasure Beach certainly has the best dark rides in the UK! The maintenance team do such a good job of looking after these! Can’t wait to see what Valhalla has to offer in 2022!!! Congrats on 25k by the way!

[@mattjcwig]

Did it get pushed back again?! I thought it was opening for the 2021 season?

[@toptiertrips]

@@mattjcwig yeah it was supposed to open this year however got pushed back til 2022 because of covid.

I can almost smell the Alice wonderland one through my phone. Instant flashbacks to when I was a little kid I used to ride this about 5 times in a row and love it every time before moving onto the river caves I was only tiny so I wasn’t tall enough for any big coasters but the monorail and little train was another one of my favs 😂 I also remember one with Humpty Dumpty but I can’t remember what that one was. I’ve not been for years be cool to go back and have some sugar donuts maybe some chips too and have a walk around I do miss it

Thank you so much for the memories. I'm in bits, especially the first bit Alice in Wonderland. I cried big time, and I will tell you why! I was a mere 6 year old when I went on this ride.

Somehow, in the (not counted, but good) amount of times me & my family have been to pleasure beach and done everything from valhalla to the illusion house... we've never seen river caves. Watching this, I thought "oh, river caves must've been removed and recorded some years ago" but no... it's been there for a while. and still is. My mum didn't even believe me when I told her. So... thank you for inadvertently making me realise we've been missing a ride this entire time! hahaha

[@stevehadfield5963]

Great video Scott. Alice... always like this ride as it never really changes Ghost Train...... Another classic but, unlike Alice, always seems to have a slight tweak every time we go on it. River caves.... An absolute must ride especially if it's hot outside! Used to be River caves then straight onto the mouse, bit obvious really!! I do wish they'd take that silly Tunnel of Love sign down! Wallace...... Sorry, got almost halfway through and fell asleep, again!!!!

[@yourexperienceguide]

Thanks Steve, I believe Alice, Ghost Train and RC have all had some modernisation this time around

[@Mr.Ortega]

Wallace and gromit is the best ride there 🤷‍♂️

[@Mark-wx6xr]

As a local I remember the Gold Mine and Space Invader, sadly no more (30 / 40 years ago?) really good. Shame they don't close later, P.B at night with the lights on the rides was magical as a kid, loved the Log Flume. nearest thing now is The Avalanche - 'free rolling' roller coaster.

The 4 dark rides in this video are: 1. Alice In Wonderland 2. Ghost Train 3. Wallace & Gromit’s Thrill-O-Matic & River Caves! Sadly Valhalla is not in this video, but whatever, at least I enjoyed it!

Valhalla is closed and I’d class it more as a water ride anyway

[@Fire_Animates_]

All the rides in this video I will never go on!! I am scared of the dark and river caves and Valhalla is my least favourite rides because it’s dark (like I said I hate darkness) and water rides when you have to go on a boat or something I just hate them if the rides break down u have to swim out and I hate it!!

[@yourexperienceguide]

You don’t have to swim away from water rides during tech issues

[@amjoy-9316]

These rides make the park in my opinion. I feel like the UK lacks dark rides like these. Dark rides are my favourite element of theme parks and other theme parks in the UK just don’t do it like Pleasure Beach do.

[@jamillahabbas8437]

Nice Video! Anyway one know if the Wallace and Gromit ride goes fast at certain points during the ride?

The ride has two drops but they aren’t really fast. I can’t even take blue flyer I’m that scared of thrill rides but I can take Wallace and gromit

Agreed, if there’s anything I feel Pleasure Beach could really do with in the long term it’s another indoor rollercoaster of some kind, at the moment Thrillseekers of pretty much totally at the mercy of the weather and having at least one indoor ride in the Thrillseekers with mean that they have something to fall back on whenever the weather turns for the worst.
